Seriously, I don't see how anybody can get property in Fla insured against natural / meteorological circumstances. Between sinkholes, tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning ... you might as well live in a cardboard box.

It's really farking expensive.

Too farking expensive, and even more so because Rick Scott has deregulated the insurance industry allowing the insurers to charge more. Crist at least kept them in line for the most part.

Then again, the northeast has been hit with worse storms and hurricanes over the past couple years than have hit south Florida.

And yet they come, by the thousands, ripping up wild lands, destroying beautiful natural views, polluting streams, lakes and even the oceans, over taxing the ecologically sensitive lands and flooding the area with non-native, often harmful, wild life.

They drain swamps, pave over thousands of acres of woodlands for roads, drive in hundreds of thousands of water wells and screw up the normal drain and fill process of the underground water system.

Florida's mainly limestone and ancient coral base responds by collapsing when levels drop as the prehistoric water caverns and underground rivers are sucked nearly dry to green millions of lawns and replenishing rain water now gets channeled directly into the sea instead of seeping back into the ground.

One famous water cave system, a boon for tourists back in the 50s, had half of it's system dynamited closed because a highway was placed above it and the increasing heavy traffic began to crack the rock walls and cause cave-ins. (Ocala Caverns -- I think.)

And still they come down, to rape the land, destroy the beauty, turn forests into ATV trails, crowd and foul the once pristine beaches and take so many fish from the lakes, rivers, streams and lagoons that strict limits have to be applied.

My advice to all of you planning to live in the Land of Sunshine -- stay the f**k out before it all turns into a mangled, sinking ship.
